Goofs:

Plot holes: General Zakev is talking to Jacques on the phone while being in Bonn, Germany. Minutes later he can be seen as being in the Railways Control Center which is in Linz, Austria (established earlier in the film). There is no way the General could have been there in a few minutes as the distance between Bonn and Linz is approximately 700 km.

Skip it unless you are a serious Van Damme fan

Why did Van Damme make this? Maybe he just had some free time or he agreed to make it if they let his son co-star. Hopefully we never see his son teaming up with him in another movie. On the DVD making-of-featurette, they brag about all the special effects. This movie contains the fakest looking helicopter I have ever seen. At the end all the helicopters are real but it is just stock footage from another movie. This movie is very similar to "Agent Red" with Dolph Lundgren except Derailed lacks the sense of humor.
